Absolutely agree with that last sentiment. Recently I came across a project by a former google engineer called Dyad: https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad

This is built to be a lovable/bolt alternative and is definitely on the early side in terms of total capability and reliability. But once you start digging through the source you realize how much engineering actually went into building it. Not just chaining prompts together in a dart throwing exercise and praying for a good result.

This is much closer to the "turnkey" solution vertical I mentioned in my earlier commentary, since its meant to generically build any web app, but there's a few applied concepts that are shared with the promptyped approach used in the HTTP/2 server (though not as sophisticated when compared to the category theory / type theory approach).

I think it's a good example to work backwards from though, if you peel the onion a bit you realize how much more tightly you could scope this for more bespoke projects.
